    Patio

    So glad this place is open again, the food is amazing and can't beat the amazing staff and views!

    Family Sampler, pulled pork, mac & cheese, green beans
    David A.

    We sat on the patio at 630 on a Wednesday, the hostess/waitress sat us at a dirty table and apologized then went to find a towel to wipe up the table. The patio is very nice and the tables are spaced out and comfortable. Cheese curds had a very heavy batter and were large portion. Not bad at all. Dry rubbed wings were very flavorful and served piping hot. The absence of a dipping sauce was felt. We used the sauce on the curbs and it was very good but would have preferred a blue cheese. The waitress was a ghost unfortunately, she took our order dropped off the food and was not seen again until we were ready for a check. We ordered the individual sampler: ribs and pulled pork but a family style order of pulled pork and 2 huge sides arrived at the table. We were shocked by the portion and asked as the server was putting the food down if this was the individual sampler. She said it was. Dispute what the sever said It was very obvious to us that it was the family style plus the ribs were missing. The Mac and cheese was velveeta cheese like tasted fine. The green beans were very fresh and seasoned well. The pulled pork was drenched in a sweet baby Ray's type sauce I assume to try and cover for the meat which was dry and chewy.

    OK, I really want this place to try a little harder. The food is decent but the menu needs some tweaks. The salads are good but, they need to add some more healthy options. Comfort food just doesn't cut it these days. The wait staff and management also need some tweaking; it's very hit or miss with their personality and attentiveness. I have had some very good and some just eh. As for the place itself; it's very clean modern and uncluttered. The view from the back is outstanding! Please do try a lot harder, I really want this place to make it!

    This place is absolutely off the hook. We managed to get away for date night. Neither one of us golfs but both of us do eat, so it made sense. The combination of the atmosphere, awesome food, great view and totally hospitable service made our night. We've had a cheese and coldcut platter which hit the spot. The chicken wings were legit. The chickens which donated their wings should be proud. I've had their take on gin and tonic which was surprisingly refreshing and tart. Brisket was to die for. Almost as good as mom used to make. The whole meal, way under a 100. We will be back before more people discover this gem. Absolutely amazing.

    Drove all the way over to Ashbrook, looking forward to trying the new restaurant. No information at all on the website (on July 26 the website says they're looking forward to opening the new restaurant in Spring 2019!). Beautiful evening to be outside! Then found this taped to the front door. This type of message is ideal for a website. Not sure when we'll be back. Can't put up a review without a rating. Would have chosen "incomplete" if that was an option.

Ok, now to the food: We ordered Bibb Salad - great!!!, the bbq wings (ask them to make them bbq style vs Peruvian) - awesome wing, but the bbq sauce was all gas - a 10 - Loved it! They are also known for their burger, which was solid, Steak Sandwich was also good, but the burger was def the better choice! Then we wrapped up worh the dessert: ordered Cheesecake which was beautiful and delicious. The homemade crust was an absolute 10!!! Then they let us sample their apple pie, which is currently not a menu item but they're testing it out. Also good! And finally, the s'mores bananas split! A unique spin on the traditional banana split. The flambéd bananas were crazy good. Great dish. So, everything was on point and extremely tasty!!! My only criticism was the bar could've been a tad quicker with the drink refills but once requested, they refreshed our drinks. I'd definitely be back here as it was great experience with food and service! Everything Kate recommended was spot on good!!! We'll be back!

This time, the food was ok (relatively mediocre), but i cannot return because we found a mouse under the kids' seats after finishing dinner. The kids were playing under the table and I told them to get up but they said there was a mouse. We thought they were joking or making it up bc they're young and tend to play make believe but then after my daughter confirmed she wasn't making it up, I looked under with my phone flashlight. Lo and behold, a little mouse chomping away at a trap. Which means they know about the problem. I feel sick to my stomach because you just don't know if the mice are crawling around on the tables at night, on the dishes, in the kitchen, etc. Sorry to say, but I won't be returning.

The inside opens up to a large bar with high ceilings and a giant fire place. There is an upstairs as well and seating in the back that lets you see the wood fired ovens. We ordered the clam chowder, wings, and pork belly bao buns. The chowder was packed with clams and maybe needed a tiny bit more salt but was filling. The wings came out as all flats which was a huge plus as I'm not too big of a fan of drumsticks. The pork belly bao buns were easily the best thing I've had and was so shocked about the flavor mix and how delicious they were. The Bao buns weren't doughy at all and had the perfect texture. Also highly recommend the spring time mocktail I had one and it was so pleasantly refreshing and sweet.

In one of the apps we found a piece of hair. The manager was kind enough to comp all the appetizers that we had. Saved save us some money. I ordered the harvest omelette and I have to tell you for a three egg omelette. This was a pretty shabby excuse for an omelette. Didn't have much of a taste and was tiny in size. No way this could be three eggs. Overall, I would say this is a pretty good place to have dinner or lunch. I just think it's very high priced of restaurant in Westfield. I'm giving you three stars because of the hair situation but remainder of the food was adequate.

    I've been wanting to check out Providence Bar & Kitchen after viewing exciting cocktail content on…read moreits socials. I dropped in at 7:30 PM on a Saturday night and grabbed a seat at the bar. The space has a warm and modern feel. On the food side, I enjoyed a beet salad. The dish was beautifully presented with a generous portion of beets underneath a tower of greens, topped with a fried goat cheese cake. Delicious! For cocktails, I started with "The Perfect Pairing" - a seasonal whiskey cocktail with Widow Jane applewood rye, Aperol, spicy pear liqueur, bitters, and muddled orange. I really enjoyed this sturdy cocktail. I'm not much of a dessert cocktail person, but Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is my flavor, so I indulged with mixology ace Giovanni's "Mint Chocolate Martini." Pumping up the vanilla vodka, creme de menthe and another liqueur was mint chocolate ice cream. Other guests were raving about the espresso martinis (that use freshly brewed espresso right off the machine). It's safe to say that dessert cocktails are a strong suit at Providence Bar! Chatting with owner Eric, I learned that the patio has a retractable roof which will be opening up with warmer weather close at hand. They also hold special events (wine and food pairings, cigar nights, mixology classes). With great food, cocktails, and service - Providence Bar is highly recommended. I look forward to returning soon.

The host provided us with our menus upon each of us sitting in our chair, and we thought we were in for a nice customer experience. Upon being seated, we waited about 10 minutes to get bread and water, and then another 10 minutes after that for someone to take our drink order...and then the bar was backed up, so we did not get a drink in hand until about 30 minutes in. You would think that if it took that long to get drinks, you might want to put the appetizer order in when we ordered the drinks. This did not happen. We did not put our food order in until about 45-60 minutes. The apps we ordered were very good. The entrees were good as well, although upon ordering filet mignon medium rare, the meat was severely undercooked (essentially raw and jiggling). We had to request the order be heated to the correct temperature, which our waiter did without hesitation. Unfortunately, as we waited for this to occur the rest of our meals waited to be consumed. We then ordered our coffees/desserts - only 2. Our coffees came out within about 10 minutes, which we finished in another 10 minutes. Dessert did not hit our table for about 25 minutes. We had a 6pm reservation for 3 people. The entire meal took 2.5 hours to compete. We only ordered a total of 3 alcoholic beverages, 3 apps, 3 entrees and 2 desserts. From my perspective, the restaurant did not staff an adequate number of wait staff for the volume of customers. Additionally, there should be a dedicated staff member that can run drinks to tables. Even the person that filled water glasses and delivered bread was falling behind. She brought out apps plates to our table as we were finishing up our apps and eating out of our bread plates. Not a big deal, but just added to the underperforming service. Again, food quality was excellent, but the restaurant did not nail a great service experience on this night. The good news is that hopefully they can correct this for the future.

Visited on a quiet Sunday at 5:00 and because there many reservations available online, we stopped by without one. Parking lot was empty so we were hopeful for a nice dinner. Surprisingly I was quickly dismissed by the hostess once I said our party of three did not have a reservation because they were completely booked. Her option was to wait and sit in the dining room way in the back. This did not sound appealing. It took me some convincing and time for her to finally get approval to accommodate us at a perfect table overlooking the lake in the first dining room. We were the only people in the dining room and when we left, there were just two other filled tables at 7:00. Not sure what rules the hostess was following! Now to the food. Oysters excellent, wedge much better at sister restaurant La GrigLia, meatballs and penne swimming in sauce and sloppy, potato crusted snapper was plain fried fish with limited sauce and pasta with seafood was good.
